Punters’ Penalty Paranoia

Shoot-Out Correct score bets for first time:
PUNTERS’ PENALTY PARANOIA!

WILLIAM HILL have responded to punter public demand and opened a book on the correct score of a prospective penalty shoot-out for the first time as their customers pour cash on the England – Germany game going to a penalty shoot-out climx – which they now offer as a 5/1 eventuality.
And Hills have taken bets of up to £2000 (from a London telephone client) and £800 from a Sussex online customer for the game to end all square after extra time.
‘A singificant number of punters are convinced that this game is destined for a penalty shoot-out – it is proving an amazingly popular punt’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And after fielding loads of calls asking to bet on the shoot-out correct score we have created a market for the first time ever’
Hills are even offering 50/1 that David James will get to take a shoot-out spot kick during an England World Cup game and betting on how many saves he will make if it goes that far against Germany:

HOW MANY PENALTIES WILL JAME-O SAVE IN SHOOT OUT?

Now For England Mega Gamble !

NOW BOOKIES FEAR £50M WORLD CUP MEGA GAMBLE ON ENGLAND

DESPITE facing a payout of up to £50million if England now go on to win the World Cup, bookies have welcomed their victory over Slovenia.
‘If England had failed to qualify, Britain’s bookies would have won £30million – as it is we now face a payout of up to £50million if they ultimately go all the way and win the tournament. We’ve slashed their odds from 10/1 to 7/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’In an ideal world we’d like England to reach the World Cup Final and lose in a penalty shoot-out, perhaps to New Zealand – but if they do win it, well, at least we’ve had 44 years to save up since their last success!
‘There was a huge gamble on England winning the game which forced us to shorten their odds pre-match as we took five figure bets galore for them – and now patriotic punters are pouring their cash on England to win the tournament – we’ve already seen two bets of £6500 amongst the plethora of five figure wagers, and expect to take tens of thousands more bets for England in the euphoria of their qualification.
‘The current worst day in bookmaking history came in September 1996 when Frankie Dettori cost the bookies over £30m – an England World Cup victory is likely to dwarf even that’ added Sharpe.
